Thanks to you I've figured out how to remove the
self adjusters. However, the main issue turned out to be an out of round drum. In retrospect, this was evident when spinning the wheel, as the wheel kept meeting resistance at the same place on each spin. I'm having the drum turned tomorrow, will see if it helps, and then will check the other one. I read that using the parking brake when the shoes are hot can cause the drum to warp, so I will use 1st gear from now on and refrain from using the parking brake. I can tell which brakes are dragging, because they melt the coroplast.
